A CRAZED banker who strapped a fake collar bomb round the neck of a millionaire’s teenage daughter was jailed for 13 years yesterday.

Madeleine Pulver, 18, watched as Paul Douglas Peters was sentenced for subjecting her to 12 hours of psychological torture.

Peters wept as Judge Peter Zahra told him he had caused the teenager
“unimaginable” terror in a bid to extort money from her father Bill.

Peters, 52, broke into Mr Pulver’s £8million mansion in Sydney, Australia in August last year.

Wearing a ski mask and carrying a baseball bat, he attached a black
metal box to Madeleine’s neck with a bicycle chain. A note warned that
the box contained explosives.

After the case at New South Wales Supreme Court, Madeleine hugged her
father and mother Belinda, and said: “I’m pleased at today’s outcome and
that I can now look to a future without Paul Peters’ name being linked
to mine.”

Fighting back tears, her father added: “She’s a very, very special young
lady who has handled herself with incredible poise and dignity
throughout this trial.”

Peters had admitted aggravated break and enter and committing a serious indictable offence.

Judge Zahra sentenced him to 13 years and six months in jail and ordered that he serve at least 10 years.
